A case that has received a lot of press has been the prosecution of Henry Noa, and others, on trespassing charges for a trip they took to Kahoolawe in an effort to express the sovereignty of the Hawaii nation.
The court case is wrapping up and I have recently gotten a copy of the defense's closing arguement. It is persuasive in demonstrating that you cannot trespass on your own land, and that the Reinstated Nation of Hawaii exists as a sovereign entity.
I strongly recommend reading the 177K PDF document.
